Experts to probe tiger quoll sighting

Conservationists and Parks Victoria will investigate a fresh tiger quoll sighting in the Otway Ranges.

There was a confirmed sighting of the critically-endangered carnivore in the ranges for the first time in a decade in May.

Lizzie Corke of the Conservation Ecology Centre at Cape Otway says cameras will be used to try to confirm the latest sighting and sniffer dogs are being trained to find faeces.

She says a family has given an accurate description of a tiger quoll.

"The quoll was sighted not too far away from where the last scat was found and the description that was given of the sighting was just beautiful, really spot on and it certainly sounds like this family did see a tiger quoll," she said.
